Lupinus species ‘Australis’

Like your Lupines big, fat & everblooming? Then we’ve got your dream plant right here! Incredibly fast growing to 5’ tall & wide, this amazing Lupine blooms Spring thru Fall (if you cut the spent blooms) with loads of beautiful, scented, blue & purple bi-colored blooms on 8” spikes. Great for cutting (you’ll get lots!) & attractive to bumblebees & butterflies, too. If it gets too big for you, just cut it to the ground & it’ll spring right back up to bloom again in a smaller size. Wonderfully large & attractive palmate leaves. Goes deciduous in Winter. Top dress with 2” of compost in early Spring & watch it burst from the soil with a vengeance. Mildew resistant. Self-sows.
